English Literature

Course summary

English literature provides the skills needed for engaging analytically with the world. Literature students become critical thinkers, considering the motivations and implications of decisions made by individuals. A-level English literature empowers students to think about how they connect with texts and appreciate how writing does not have one fixed meaning; interpretations can dramatically alter over time and can vary from one individual to another. Human behaviour is the heart of English literature; characters and voices drive everything about creative texts and humans are the most fascinating species!
